What a wonderful experience I had dining at Tio Pepe! From the exceptional service all around to the delicious meal we had. The guacamole app was so fresh and delicious, the paella was insanely tasty, the churassco was cooked to perfection, and the tres leches dessert was phenomenal. Quality all around!!! I’ll be back!

★★★★★ Tio Pepe delivers on every level. The seafood soup is deeply flavorful and comforting, and the salmon was perfectly prepared—clean, fresh, and balanced. What set the experience apart was the refreshing cocktail featuring Julia Gin, crisp and aromatic, pairing effortlessly with the food. Thoughtful execution, quality ingredients, and a menu that knows exactly what it’s doing. Highly recommended.

This place has the best paella I have ever had in my life. And I actually feel better after I eat it and I can tell they use clean ingredients. Also the atmosphere is STUNNING and the staff is really nice.

Tried this place once before as a random stop. It’s a hidden gem. I’m so glad they are still open and with the same amazing bartender. I had the Pepitni so refreshing. And the Hibiscus Margarita is a great option it takes them a while prior day to make the hibiscus juice they use.

I came for a few drinks and tapas in the evening and I couldn't have been greeted more warmly. I posted up at the bar with a friend and the bartender, Memo, made us phenomenal martinis. Jose was still attending to us and taking really good care of us. The food was 10/10!!

Live music was so much fun! The Tapas (octupus and clam ones our favorite) and cocktails (Pepetini YUM) were the perfect accompaniment! Live music Thur & Sun nights, sometimes Tues. Waiter happily had kitchen make a dessert not.on the menu (fresh fruit)

Walked in on a Tuesday night and was greeted warmly by the Manager Claude, the bartender Jose was nice and accommodating to my cocktail as well. Tuesday is also live music!! Very nice to sip my cocktail too! Will come back again soon.

This place is INCREDIBLE. From the service down to the food, everything was impeccable. We had Diego as our server, and he was extremely attentive. At the bar we were served by Guillermo and he was also great! I’m already looking forward to going back! We ordered the pitcher of Sangria, the charcuterie board, the octopus, the seafood cazuela and the paella - everything exquisite. I highly recommend this restaurant

What a wonderful surprise! I love Spanish tapas and usually try this type of restaurant. I went there with my boyfriend and was extremely pleasantly surprised by how good the food was, how quick the service, how decent the prices and what cozy vibe with a full glass window view of a very quaint and vibrant street in the village. The decor was beautiful and so was the background music. The Sangria is better than at the most renowned tapas places in the city! Will be coming back here for sure!

This spot is low key terrific! The service was super attentive and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. They’ve got a solid cocktail list and the menu offers a nice variety to choose from. My date and I ordered a bunch of tapas to split —chorizo, shrimp, and octopus—and everything was tasty and well seasoned. Very satisfied with the portions sizes. It's a great place to grab a bite and drinks before heading out for a night in the area.

Food was amazing. We got the paella and a few tapas. Came with a group of 6 the waiter was very attentive and friendly. The manager checked in on us a few times and made sure everything was in order. We even got a round of free drinks from the bar tender who was testing out a new mix. Hopefully it’s a new menu item soon. I suggested the name cabana breeze but it’s still unnamed but ask for the blue/green drink

We went on a Tuesday night and everything was perfect, actually that night they had a jazz concert in the restaurant which makes our dinner more romantic. The paella was phenomenal, the cocktails were so refreshing and the churros was crispy and really tasteful. the sangria was good , and the service was really good too.

We had the Paella and it was worth the 3-35 mins cooking time, it was simply the best I’ve had in years. There was a good variety and amount of seafood to please anyone appetite. The Chorizo was also very good, and it added really nice flavour to the rice. We will definitely go there again next time we are back in NYC. Cheers

We wandered past this afternoon and decided to stop for brunch. I opted for the $20 extra for bottomless margaritas and initially I thought they were very weak ( couldn't taste the tequila) but they hire me hard afterwards! Excellent service, couldn't fault it, very attentive and super friendly. The food ( omelette and eggs Benedict) were just fine, not amazing hence 4 stars not 5. Would probably go back for the service alone.

Good brunch spot with good food and good service! The gambas were delicious, and we did the bottomless deal with their blood orange mimosas. The coca in particular was delicious, and the pancakes were simple but good! The vibe is casual but fun, would definitely recommend for a chill brunch.

It was good but I expected more. The portions are not big. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it wasn't as tasty as I thought, it comes with sour cream but no guacamole. The good thing is the plates came quickly, but they did not offer you water or anything as an entry.

The food, especially the paella, was honestly not amazing, but the sangria was very goo. Overall also a bit too expensive. I would only recommend to go to get small food and sangria with friends because the ambience is also nice.

The place is beautiful, the service is excellent, the drinks are good but the food... the food is lacking flavor. We tried tacos, hamburgers, fries, calamari, and every single dish was missing something. When the place was separated from burrito loco and ramblas, the flavors on each place were delicious. After the pandemic, they merged the 3 places, and obviously, the menu changed. It's disappointing 😞 BUT, the place is nice and it's great for drinks and appetizers after work. 🍻

This place is really nice. The ambiance is very warm, comfortable, and welcoming. My dinner party all ordered drinks and they seemed to like them alot because they kept ordering more. What I can speak about is the food. This was the most disappointing part of our stay. The portion sizes, the aesthetic, and the prices were all bad. And worst of all, nothing had flavor. I'm not sure how that happened but the food was beyond bland, it was depressing. The chicken dish that I ordered sounded so good but when it came out, it looked like a lunch that I could have been served in middle school. The chicken cutlet was so thin that it was dried out and tasted like jerky without flavor. It had semi crispy fries and the veggies looked like they were an afterthought. The lobster ravioli was even worse. The playing and portion size was sad. Look at the photos I attached for reference. For the price point, I would have hoped for some really tasty dishes but I left disappointed.

Went to Tio Pepe yesterday to celebrate my birthday. I have been going there for years and never had I experienced such horrible service! Never have I had to ask the waiter where our drinks were or when could we expect our tapas nor have I ever sent my food back. The waiter that was there ignored our table and had an attitude when we asked questions. Nor did he offer any other suggestions or apologies. Thankfully Denilson offered an apology and another food option. I highly recommend this place to my friends and was embarrassed about our experience.
